Roots and Recall’s contributing authors are providing outstanding articles and photographs. Comments associated with the new feature articles have been very positive and we are delighted to already have received articles for posting in 2018. The current feature article, by husband and wife team, Chris and Austin Lange, captures the preservation work of Nick Gambrell, of Oconee Co., S.C. Please take time to read their interview with Nick, on the homepage as well as visit the post he provided R&R on his family’s farmstead, the Bearden – Gambrell House.

R&R Note: Hoping you have each had wonderful Christmas and will enjoy a very happy 2018. We are delighted that R&R’s co-founder, Rusty Robinson, has returned from his sabbatical, to continue building the pages of R&R with his insights and knowledge. One of the first jobs he is tackling is the indexing of the Mayhugh Map Collection, so members can more easily access the data the maps share.
